What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 861 - 276: Here Comes the Breakthrough (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3
Chapter 861: Chapter 276: Here Comes the Breakthrough (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3
This is getting interesting. Let’s open it and see, basically, they all appeared in court as company employees.
As for why his proxy identity was never uncovered, it’s quite simple. Nowadays, the court’s verification of proxy identity is mostly just a formality.
Needless to say for lawyers, having both the practice certificate and the lawyer’s certificate is enough, just a glance and there’s no issue.
For company legal affairs, when the company presents a labor contract, and materials such as a citizen proxy recommendation letter, with bright red company seals, would the court actually go to the trouble to specifically check if the proxy is really a company employee?
Anyone who has had practical experience knows, basically, they won’t check. How busy are the grassroots courts already? To take the initiative to check these would just be creating trouble for themselves.
...
Many times, the issue of a proxy’s qualification is raised by the opposing proxy, and then the court conducts an investigation to confirm.
But here, either the opposing lawyer is complicit, or there’s simply no need to bother with it.
Think about it. As a lawyer, when you see a case that’s essentially a sure win, would you take the initiative to question the qualifications of the proxy?
You can win easily without raising it, so why bother.
Of course, such situations are not ruled out, but the cases weren’t online, so he didn’t know about them.
Now that there’s a breakthrough, it’s easier to handle. Old Tang immediately recorded the case information he had found and then went downstairs and headed straight for the Jingzhou Intermediate Court!
At the Intermediate Court, Judge Zhang was in his office writing a judgment, when his cell phone rang at that moment.
Judge Zhang frowned. At this time, he actually didn’t want to answer the phone, especially not the calls from the parties involved, he absolutely wouldn’t pick up.
But then he saw it was Tang Fangjing, so he answered with a smile, “Lawyer Tang, what’s the matter now? Have you changed your mind about wanting to settle?”
Old Tang’s voice came through the phone: “That’s not it, Judge Zhang, I have an urgent matter and would like to see you now, if you have time?”
Judge Zhang frowned, glanced at the judgment in his hand, but still said, “All right, I’m in the office on the third floor, just come find me directly.”
Although he didn’t know what Tang Fangjing wanted with him… the guy actually addressed him with “you”!
Not bad, not bad, so let’s meet.
Of course, if Judge Zhang knew how Old Tang flexibly used the “grandfather-grandson” terms with the system, he would definitely not want to meet.
Old Tang soon arrived at the office, where he was greeted and offered water to drink.
“Lawyer Tang, what’s so urgent that you came here only an hour after we finished the mediation?” Judge Zhang asked with some curiosity.
Old Tang handed over the screenshot of the information he had found and said, “I just discovered something interesting. I checked, and Tian Liben, he has had three similar cases in Handong Province in the past two years.”
“Two of them were fitness centers absconding, one was a yoga studio, all represented by him, and in all cases, his identity was that of a company employee, and now with this case, it seems very odd.”
Judge Zhang’s face turned serious upon hearing this, took the phone to take a closer look, and sure enough!
As a judge, he naturally had professional sensitivity, and he said immediately, “So you mean, this person is impersonating a proxy to participate in litigation activities?”
Old Tang nodded and said, “Yes, this is the material submitted by the other party during the first trial. Look at this labor contract, very professional, but now the evidence shows that he really isn’t an employee of Yinghuang Company.”
“So I was thinking if the court could look into it.”
No matter how comprehensive the external case databases are, they can’t compare to the court’s own internal system, which can clearly investigate everything.
That’s how Old Tang handles cases: he knows the limitations of his lawyer status, and many things can’t be checked.
So, he has to know how to leverage, finding a breakthrough and letting the organization with the power to investigate take over.
The situation indeed seemed suspicious. Judge Zhang nodded and began to look it up in the court’s internal system.
And to his astonishment, upon checking…
“In the past three years, this man has been involved in twenty-one similar cases, and right now, he’s working on three cases at the same time, all as an employee!”
Old Tang was also a bit surprised by this number. That impressive, huh?
He used to think this guy had some skills, but now it seems it got a bit twisted.
Now even a fool could see there was a problem. Judge Zhang said with a stern face, “Lawyer Tang, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, no one knows when this would have been discovered…”
Although the clues seemed obvious, there were really not many people who would check it.
Old Tang nodded with a smile, “It’s no big deal, I just can’t stand seeing illegal behavior.”
“Alright, I’m going to be busy, Lawyer Tang what do you think…”
“I’m leaving, I’m heading back right now, you go ahead with your work, Judge Zhang.”
After saying that, Old Tang left the court office, not expecting things to go this smoothly.
This move was like startling the snake; Tian Liben’s actions seemed serious, but whether they constituted a crime was something even Old Tang wasn’t sure about.

If pushed to say, it could only be considered obstruction of litigation activities.
But even if it’s not a criminal offense, it’s still enough for administrative detention and a fine.
Especially the maximum fine, that would be at least a hundred thousand yuan.
And beneath the dispute of interests, Old Tang didn’t believe they were all in complete agreement inside!
…
Time flew to the next day, in Xishan District of Jingzhou City, at the doorway of another fitness center that had closed and absconded, Tian Liben was again in a dispute with those seeking rights protection.
The reason for coming was that these people had gone to petition the authorities, and the market regulation department required someone from the company to handle the situation.
At this moment, the opposing crowd was agitated and seemed ready to get physical.
Two police officers stood by, called by Tian Liben who had just reported the incident. He wasn’t actually worried about getting beaten; getting hit would give him the upper hand.
“I’ve already said, this is due to the company’s poor operation, our boss didn’t want to go bankrupt either, who would want to close down their thriving business, right comrade?”
The police didn’t make a sound, and one man said, “Is this a bankruptcy? You’re deliberately absconding. What about the refunds you promised? How long has it been dragging on?”
And right then, Tian Liben’s cell phone rang. He answered saying, “Hello, Intermediate Court? I don’t have time, right, didn’t you say yesterday that I have no proxy qualification, what do you want me to come in for now.”
“You don’t have the right to summon me, you know, I’m busy right now, that’s that.”
